"Calling Up Relievers"...

" Calling Up Relievers "

Calling up relievers
like one of the deepest-
I-didn't-think-
fourth-straight victories

after hammering
two-run shots
to left center
in the middle
of the fifth

feeling comfortable
with pitches
partying quickly

grounding out
striking out
no matter

first-round drafts
designated batters
hamstrung stature
missing practice

estate planning
5-pound bags
off-shore
transactions

old-fashioned
undeclared
risk-handling
panic collapse...
